Sausalito Optometry

I am a neighbor of this establishment and have I have previously been a customer. However, I was surprised today by how rude they were, telling me that their front walk was Private Property.
I think anyone considering glasses should look beyond this shop, as they are rude, and lets be honest, have a small selection and prices that are simply higher than other options if you look a little farther into marin.

I just had my first eye exam with Dr McCoy and couldn’t be more pleased with my experience here. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable including Molly the clinic cat! The Dr greeted me with a smile and handshake as soon as I arrived. She was very professional, knowledgeable and thoroughly took time to review my exam with me. I have had issues with allergies and the Dr asked me if I had ever had eye allergies, which I didnt know was a separate health issue from regular allergies so she prescribed me prescription eye drops. The staff took time to fit me into new frames. I will definitely be back! If you’re looking for an Ophthalmologist and a friendly neighborhood establishment, I highly recommend Sausalito Optometry!

I can’t say enough about how great the staff is here! After arriving in Sausalito for the weekend, I realized I forgot both contacts and my glasses. As a wearer of daily disposable contacts, I knew I had to get more somehow. This was my 3^rd stop in the Bay Area after having my doctor back home email me a copy of my prescription and they were quick to help. They had my exact prescription in one eye and were barely off with the other. The wonderful receptionist provided me a 5 day supply of disposables free of charge. I couldn’t have been more thankful for them helping me see and enjoy my time in Sausalito!

Dr. McCoy is a true Pro. I have been her patient for 3 years now and have never had a problem. The entire staff is so helpful and knowledgeable and I can’t say enough about Dr. McCoy. If you ever need any kind of eye exams or glasses, contacts and sunglasses go see the great staff.

Second year to see Dr McCoy. Amazing, quick, efficient. Covers things other doctors miss like noting that I have dry eyes and how to try to fix it myself with warm water compresses and lower eyelid massage.
I told her that I would continue to see her even when we move out of Marin.

Having recently moved to Marin, I decided that I needed to find a new optometrist and Dr. Danielle McCoy came highly recommended.
I was very impressed with Dr. McCoy. She has excellent interpersonal skills (not what I experienced with my other optometrist). Besides being very friendly, she thoroughly questioned me about the history of my eye «issues», and was careful to document it all as I spoke. I have a difficult prescription so I was particularly impressed with the state-​of-​the art and modern exam equipment that she has in her office, which makes me feel confident that I’m getting the most thorough eye exam possible.
Dr. McCoy and her entire staff were genuinely friendly and very professional. And as a bonus, they have a great selection of unique and out of the ordinary frames. Sandra, the manager of the office was very patient and helpful as I tried many of them on. Now I just need to choose which one’s I’ll buy!
With the other highly rated reviews, I too recommend Dr. McCoy and Sausalito Optometry!

I came here for my first visit today. I went to the same Doctor in SF for years but making the trek into the Mission District from Marin was definitely not an option. So I looked on Unilocal and found Sausalito Optometry and I am glad I did.
The office and front office staff were really nice and helped me get set up really easily.
Dr. McCoy was great. She made sure to explain all the procedures and helped me to optimize my vision. She also was conscientious of my insurance and maximized my benefits with minimal out of pocked cost.
Best of all though, I am in contacts now that are more comfortable than the ones I was using for years and my vision is way more clear.
I will definitely be back.

Whelp although Dr. McCoy is nice I’ve spent $ 700 (brought my own frames) on lenses and I still CAN’T SEE! I do have somewhat complicated vision but I explained that both when making the appointment and during the exam. The Dr had no reservations about her ability to treat my needs. Unfortunately, during the exam I did not get that she was confident in her ability to correct my vision. This led me to specifically ask about any guarantees on the prescription lenses. To which she replied «if they are not right we remake them until they are!» This was a lie. The first lenses were so far off I could not even put them on. When I returned to have them redone I was told «we only have one more chance to get them right». Well, uh, then what? She had no idea what to do, why the lenses were so wrong, and finally she gave me my old prescription — wasting my money all together!!! I am now going back to UC Berkeley eye center where they got my lenses right on every time. Of course I will be paying AGAIN! I am also filing a complaint on «Dr» McCoy. She should have just refunded my money and told me she was not able to deal with my needs. I gave two stars only because she was a nice person and so was her staff.

Dr. McCoy is great. All the latest technology, much Ive only seen at her office Explains everything in detail and gives you options. Very personable. Her staff is great too. And its a short walk from my home.

Dr. McCoy and her staff are great. She cares about her patients, and loves what she does.. I have had my eye exam, and been seen for a stye condition which she referred me to an opthamalogist for. As other reviewers have mentioned, the ease of visits here and customer service is top notch.

Sausalito Optometry is certainly a 5 star optometry office and as someone who has been blind as a bat since I was 8 years old I should know. Dr. McCoy is a personable and intelligent doctor who offers incredibly professional service.
After seeing me for two years Dr. McCoy encouraged and gave me the courage to pursue LASIK surgery which has changed my life. She saw me through the whole process and even helped me find my surgeon.
She also keeps up to date with all the new testing equipment and today at my appointment I was able to see on a computer screen what the inside of both my eyes look like! I got to see my own optic nerve!
If your interested in an eye doctor that wants nothing but the best for you and your eyes you can’t go wrong with Dr. McCoy!

I recently moved to Sausalito and this is long overdue. I was looking for an eye doctor and went blindly on the top ten list of optometrist in the area. Although Dr. McCoy was only my third choice, I ended up seeing her and I was so happy I did. She not only had a great «bedside» manner (term we use in the hospital,) she had great knowledge and her equipment is state of the art. I learned from her more than any other optometrist I’ve been seeing the past few years. I high recommend her. I have sent a few of my few friends to her and they were also very happy. This is an example of how a doctor should be. I love Dr. McCoy!

Biggest issue: the optometrist got the prescription wrong, I had progressive lens. I was never able to find the place on the lens where I could see things in clear focus. I finally gave up on my $ 1,000 glasses (frames, high index, etc.). Have since shown prescription to two other optometrists who examined my eyes and both said the prescription was incorrect for my eyes for the same reason. Oh yeah, the scratch resistant lens began to scratch within a year.

If your glasses come out wrong and are not wearable, they will offer you a 20% discount on a new pair, even though the problem is their fault — wrong focal point.
Not so nice when the specs cost hundreds.
I did not like hearing her anti-​feminist views on politics either.

This place is amazing! I haven’t had an eye exam in years. I was surprised by the ease and comfort I experienced in this office. Dr. McCoy is so down to earth, informative, gentle, and passionate. The staff are wonderful and really know their stuff and give confident suggestions. Customer service here is top-​notch!

Yes, another five star review.
Before Sausalito Optometry I had only gotten my eyes checked at Lenscrafters. Having now had my first appointment with Dr. McCoy, I’m never going back to the mall for my glasses/​contacts. It feels similar to when I stopped going to SuperCuts and decided to get a decent haircut — everything was so much more professional, easy, and of a much higher quality. I did not know what I was missing.
Dr. McCoy was fantastic and her staff was really helpful — and patient as I tried on dozens of glasses.
Totally deserving of five stars and the overwhelmingly positive reviews.

(Just to preface, every review you’ve read is dead on. I’m glad I took everyone’s advice!) I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 17 and I have been lucky enough to encounter some pretty nice doctors. However, a doctor like Dr. McCoy, or Maureen as I’m sure she’d ask you to call her, is a rare gem! Not only was she friendly and welcoming, she answered all of the questions I had and all of the questions I didn’t even think of asking! She’s extremely knowledgeable and you can tell she absolutely loves what she does. I can’t say enough about her staff either. From booking my appointment to picking out my frames, it was such a pleasant experience. I highly recommend giving this place your business if you’re shopping for new glasses!

The absolute BEST EYE DOCTOR I’ve ever seen and trust me, I’ve seen a lot having worn glasses/​contacts for 40 years! Dr. McCoy CARES! She’s not there to shuffle you out and collect on your insurance like some eye doctors I’ve gone to. She takes her time and makes sure she’s giving you a terrific exam along with the best advice. I have been going to this office for 3 years now and will not trust my eyes to anyone else. I was unfortunately wearing reading glasses along with contact lenses. I asked Dr. McCoy if I needed bifocals. She was like «no way! We can adjust your contacts so you can read better and not need the reading glasses». Wow! Not one other doctor even mentioned this to me! Excellent selection of frames too, as I wear glasses when I’m at home. She stocks the good stuff and not all frames are ridiculously expensive. I got a great pair of glasses today along with contacts at a reasonable price! Sandra and Hillary are excellent too! They assist Dr. McCoy once your exam is over. KUDOS to Sausalito Optometry! They are simply THE BEST!!!

OK, so I am getting «up there» and … well… needed trifocals. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Found a great pair of Fendi frames HALF OFF. With my insurance, and sale, it didn’t hurt my pocket book as much as I thought it would.
Hubby got his glasses too. Some nerdy IT type that look hot on him!
They have a most friendly black cat named Molly who uninvited will come sit on your lap. Made me happy.
All in all, a great store and supporting a local business. Can’t beat it!

Dr. McCoy is awesome. She’s super nice, knows exactly what she’s doing and always has the latest high tech gadgets. I got some great Oliver Peoples glasses here that I’ve been wearing for like 5 years and are still great. I get lots of compliments on them.
Of note, they have moved across the street into a very cool converted retro gas station at 33 Caledonia.
